Bimmian tail lights

Hi Everyone,

I have a 2004 Cooper and I'm looking to "clean up" the exterior by getting a set of clear center tail lights. I used to see them on eBay all the time, but I can't find them now... I found a set at Bimmian (http://www.bimmian.com/MLN/MN) that are reasonable at around $115 after shipping. Has anyone had a good or bad experience with these? IE: leaking or fogging? If so, does anyone have any alternatives for me? I'm also looking at the Solaris bulbs for the front and rear if anyone has any thoughts on those as well.

Thanks!

Bimmian is an on again...off again vendor in terms of reliability. He has been a vendor on the BMW forums for years. I have bought from him before. I think he is up in Canada. Those lights dont look bad for 100 bucks. I paid 68 shipped for my ebay lights and I get what I pay for. They dont fog but does get dirt in them. I would try Bimmian out....

Thanks, UKSUV. I was sort of expecting some kind of "you get what you pay for" answer, but was hoping someone had a great experience with them. For ~$100 it's at least worth a try I guess. Thanks for your input.
